    I will be one of those "nutters".

    Buy for €80 = have game

    Wait 2 months, get it for €50 maybe = didnt have game for 2 months

    Cost = €3.33 per week to have the game over waiting for it to be second hand.

    Exactly. Plus if I get my moneys worth out of any non-PS+ game in a year it'll invariably be FIFA.

    Why are the players always friends with hot chicks when in reality they probably never even spoke to a girl!

    Ah, times are changing, in fairness. But if we ARE being fair, the people they use don't all have to look like Ambercrombie models.

    Have a look at the games being released on each console - decide on what one you prefer, or ask your mates what they are getting and decide that way get a PS4.

    FYP

    People's problem with DLC is the fact it's gotten way out of hand these days with things like day one map packs and content -things that should've been in the game but were left out deliberately just to rip off the consumer and get as much profit as possible from them. All that instantly takes away from the original game and experience.

    It's getting worse now again with things like micro transactions. I know you find worth in it, and there's nothing wrong with that, but it's your mentality that makes them think it's alright to keep doing it because people will buy it regardless anyway.

    Some DLC down the line can be great and benefit the game a lot by adding new life to it. BFBC 2 Vietnam expansion was great, shame there's not more of that type of DLC anymore because that is worth it, not day one DLC packs.

    Hi can you give me an example of what "micro transactions" are in the Battlefield context? I've heard of the word but dont know what it means

    I don't think there is any in BF3, but in general its where the game has a store where you can buy weapons, cosmetic items, perks etc.

    Yeah the BF3 example is that instead of working your way up and unlocking the kit for each class, you can buy a shortcut bundle to unlock all the kit.

    Was Mass Effect the same way, or could you not get the items without micro transactions.

    For the multiplayer in 3 you could earn points to purchase packs with or you could use real world money/ MS points.

    Okay so apparently how the "play your games on any console" system works is,
    You tie your SEN account to your home PS4, this is the PS4 you own that you mainly play on. When you download digital content you can always play it on your home PS4 offline or online, but if you want to play it on a different console at a friends house you will need to be signed in.

    Wonder how many of those home consoles you can have, I have no doubt I'll have more than 1 ps4 after sometime.

    Personally, one for me at launch and one for my son for christmas.

    I'd say two at most, though maybe you'll be able to deactivate it and re-activate it on different consoles.

    - If people really wanted they could set their friend's PS4 as their home system, and then always play online on their console. Easy way to get two copies of every game and keep them forever.

    Same reason but I'm not planning on anything that close, in 2/3/4 years when it's in the €250-300.

    Do you mean this christmas?

    2 would be fine, buying digital while sometimes more expensive means I don't need 2 copies of a lot of it.

    I was curious, I don't have kids so that prospect never entered my head :P

    The PS blog put up a video.

    It's one physical PS4 that you nominate as your home console and then you can play on any other console as long as you signed in meaning you need an internet connection, well that sucks.
